Google’s not the only one automatically scanning your communications for traces of child porn.
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after he attempted to send child porn via a live.com email address. The arrest came after Microsoft tipped the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about the illegal images, which officials subsequently found in the man’s OneDrive account.
This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. Like Google, Microsoft lets you know in its terms of service that automated processes are looking for child porn.

Microsoft, email, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, OneDrive, automatically scanning communication data for illegal content, ... ?

Give us more of a clue, or I'll just answer with: "search the Internet".
 
I'm sorry but this is an invasion of personal privacy.....which we as citizens are about to loose completely if we don't put a stop to it. That said, I'm appalled by any person or persons that are involved in/with child porn. I'm all for taking down the bad guys.....but scanning my emails, for child porn is wrong no matter how you slice it. Those (emails) are personal and private no matter the subject matter.

So this brings me to the conclusion of; it they (govt, stat, local) authorities along with MS, Google and Apple email servers.....what else are they looking at. Then that beg the question of: WHY? Who gave them that right to snoop.....because that's what they are doing. Just some lawyer mumbo jumbo legal talk to justify their "ILLEGAL" actions and call it legal.

There has to be a better way, a legal way to put a stop to the child porn industry then to have access my personal emails. If you're a known offender then all bets are off....and by all means have access to their emails. To just randomly have access to everyone's emails is just insane.
